I wasn't participating in the game thread, but I'll bet that bogus call on Punto's tag up went over really well.
TWO HUNDRED & FIVE DOLLARS REWARD--At the great baseball match on Tuesday, while I was engaged in hurrahing, a small boy walked off with an English-made brown silk UMBRELLA belonging to me, & forgot to bring it back. I will pay $5 for the return of that umbrella in good condition to my house on Farmington avenue. I do not want the boy (in an active state) but will pay two hundred dollars for his remains. -- Samuel L. Clemens.
I got to the game thread late,
but it still got quite a reaction when I asked about it 4 innings later.

Watch on mlb.com...
I watched it about 20 times and I cannot tell if he left too soon. It’s really really close.
Sign Carlos Silva!!!
he was moving just before the ball was caught,
but his foot was still in contact with the base when it when it went into the glove. I see this all the time in girls fast pitch softball. The runners can’t leave the base until the ball leaves the pitchers hand so they get a moving start during the pitching motion.
I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it... Jack Handy
If it's close enough that they can't tell,
then it shouldn’t be called.
http://fuckyeahnouns.com/alex%20fritz
i agree
only if it is painfully obvious. that call is still ridiculous in my book. he seemed to have tagged up. oh well, make’m pay for it in the series punto.

Blown calls like that are so rare anyway it's not really worth talking about.
I’m more concerned about Eduardo Sanchez’s umpire problem. 17% of the ball and strike calls for him so far this year have been blown compared to under 5% for most pitchers.
http://fuckyeahnouns.com/alex%20fritz
Well, it's from the pitch f/x data released by mlb,
so I’d say that it’s legit.

Also, Dave Concepcion.
I'd say there's enough going on that, even with some generous "error bar" assumptions it's clearly he's getting squeezed badly
Either that or there’s some systematic problem with pitch f/x that’s making the strike zone shift over to one side by accident while Sanchez pitches.

It passes the eye test for me.
Other pitchers using the same data can be charted to show they have much lower blown call rates. If it were inaccurate for Sanchez it should be inaccurate for other pitchers.

Last night wasn't as bad.
Hopefully it was just the umpiring in the florida series.
http://fuckyeahnouns.com/alex%20fritz
The florida series was horrible
I didn’t watch the game, but caught his 9th inning on the DVR. He was getting squeezed, part of it is the action on the breaking pitch. He’s got good stuff so it’ll hard for some umps to adjust. I just hope it doesn’t hurt us when the game is directly on the line.

The ump should've been closer to Punto...
and he should get down low so he can see his foot and Byrd in the same view. He had Punto and Byrd lined up, but he was kind of backing away as the catch was made.
Sign Carlos Silva!!!
That's because backing up allowed the ump to take both actions in simultaneously
It would’ve been incredibly difficult to kneel down and be able to see a catch from ~200ft away and time it exactly with Punto leaving.

Well, I was kinda trying to write from the point of view of the gamethread where all umpires are biased against us
But I get your point. It was very hard to tell based on that clip. But it’s not a very good clip, since it’s really fuzzy. At least the one I’m watching is a really hard clip to get anything out of, I can’t find a better clip on MLB.com. So anyway, it doesn’t help much. What they were showing on the Fox Sports Midwest broadcast last night made it look like a terrible call to me, but then I’d have to trust that they were synching it up accurately. I was listening to Shannon/Rooney at the time while watching (we do this sometimes when we get tired of Al) and Rooney was just letting the umpire have it… in his “I’ll be polite but I definitely disagree with you” sort of way.

Umps are human
so I don’t mind when, say, they get it wrong on a bang/bang play at first. I probably couldn’t tell either in those cases. But why in the ever loving fuck would you make that call at third when its not absolutely clear he left early. No excuse for that.

That perfect manager
Would never, EVER bunt, because it’s always a bad move, regardless if it is a lifetime .000-hitting pitcher who looks at Skip “GO 4-3” Schumaker as his hero. No, bunts are never a good move because you’re giving away outs when the only alternative was to get a hit. [/sarcasm]

Kind of weird how much wrestling has come up at VEB lately
To continue this trend, did anyone know that Warrior (James Brian Hellwig, who wrestled as The Ultimate Warrior, officially changed his name to Warrior at some point) likes to paint?
TWO HUNDRED & FIVE DOLLARS REWARD--At the great baseball match on Tuesday, while I was engaged in hurrahing, a small boy walked off with an English-made brown silk UMBRELLA belonging to me, & forgot to bring it back. I will pay $5 for the return of that umbrella in good condition to my house on Farmington avenue. I do not want the boy (in an active state) but will pay two hundred dollars for his remains. -- Samuel L. Clemens.
And is beyond bat shit crazy.

I honestly don't know much about how crazy he is, I haven't seen him talk or anything lately
But he comes across as not-that-crazy on his art website. Which is something I never thought I’d say bout the Ultimate Warrior.

I wasn't in the GT last night

I didn’t realize until I got home that Carp didn’t give up any XBH. They had an awful lot of bloops and flares falling in.

no... this is new stuff (at least I think)
So my dad was saying that Pujols was spotted at an italian restaurant in springfield IL with a prominent realtor. Nobody really knew what he was up to, but that it had to do with land that part of a failed sports facility project called Xanadu. Well on Easter I was at church and was talking with a good friend who works in the same school district as where I was from (Chatham IL). He said that Albert had enrolled his kids there and that his daughter with down syndrome was enrolled at the hope school in springfield. My dad got an email today that the word round the realtor campfire was that Albert has bought a house on Lake Springfield. I know that this is all hearsay and rumor mill stuff, but I thought that i would share with VEB just for fun.

May is BOTH Pregnancy Awareness Month AND National Masturbation Month. CLEARLY there’s a message in there.

TWO HUNDRED & FIVE DOLLARS REWARD--At the great baseball match on Tuesday, while I was engaged in hurrahing, a small boy walked off with an English-made brown silk UMBRELLA belonging to me, & forgot to bring it back. I will pay $5 for the return of that umbrella in good condition to my house on Farmington avenue. I do not want the boy (in an active state) but will pay two hundred dollars for his remains. -- Samuel L. Clemens.
If I hear one more baby story in my office, I'm going to cut my ears off.

A few things i noticed; i forgot we even picked up Snell, nobody thought that Descalso would make it to April and we nobody thought that Bautista had a chance of making the team. How foolish we were.
